Chapter 8 Tolti Island

The battle ended in the victory of the Zhang Yang side.

The captain and first mate of the Pamir on the other side were all killed in the battle, only ten surviving crew members, and Zhang Yang's side died 5, and at this moment these surviving pirates were looking at Zhang Yang in fear.

"That guy has magical magic and can change weapons."

"I've seen it with my own eyes, so it's no wonder we're losing."

Thomas took out the chart and calculated the current route, then pointed in a direction towards Zhangyangdao.

"Three nautical miles from this direction, there is a small island, according to the rules of the Pirate Code, these surrendered pirates can not be killed, but they will be exiled to the island and resigned to their fate."

Thomas whispered in Zhang Yang's ear.

"Captain, listen to me, this is the first time you have dealt with captives, you can't be too merciful to them, what you need now is to stand in front of these crews."

"I see."

Zhang Yang nodded, they have now become pirates, and it is necessary to abide by the following "Pirate Code", Zhang Yang remembers that this code was guarded by Jack Sparrow's father, hidden in Shipwreck Bay, and once appeared when the pirate conference was held.

The survivors of the Pamir were chained and caught on the Helen, and Cindy took over the Pamir with a crew of 5, and it was noon, and it was on the sea, and the humid and stuffy environment could easily cause the corpses to decompose, and Cindy led people to throw the corpses of these people down.

Soon, Cindy took over the entire Pamir and made a few sign languages to Zhang Yang to indicate safety, and at the same time, a hint came from the dirty ear.

"You have repelled pirates, and your reputation among pirates has increased by 200 points. Rewards 0.3% Scene Exploration. ”

"You have successfully captured the Pirate Ship Pamir, gain +1 Ship Collector Quest Progress."

Thomas and Zhang Yang were on the Helen, and Cindy was on the Pamir, driving the ship forward, and at this moment both ships hung up their sails, and it was a tailwind, and soon they saw the island that Thomas had said.

The island wasn't too big, it was covered with coconut palms and some tropical plants, and with a view of the white sandy beach, the other sailors cracked their mouths and laughed. A plank about three meters long was taken out of the cargo hold and half of it was extended to the side of the ship, which is one of the pirates' favorite way to dispose of their captives - walking the plank!

Historically, this form of punishment was the most popular method used by pirates. Blindfold each other and let them walk out step by step in the dark. Then fall into the boundless sea.

But that's the way people kill people. According to the "Pirate Code", although they could force the other party to walk the plank, but they were not prepared to kill them immediately, Zhang Yang gave them a gun, 10 rounds of ammunition and black powder, and a scimitar. This is so that these people can settle their lives happily in the moment before they die.

Zhang Yang calmly said goodbye to these pirates.

"Gentlemen, this is the end of our journey, and I wish you the best of luck. Maybe you'll be able to catch a few turtles, tie them to your feet and get out of here. ”

"Haha."

Everyone laughed, the story of a turtle tied to his feet was invented by the famous Captain Jack Sparrow, who knew that he had been betrayed by Barbossa.

"God forbid, if we survive, we will definitely tell your story, captain from the East, can we know your name."

"Publicity."

"Xiexie, we may be able to see the birth of another legendary captain."

The faces of the 10 surviving crew members were very calm, they all knew very well what happened to the pirates, they would be hanged if they were caught by the British Royal Fleet, and there was no hope of escape, Zhang Yang did not blindfold them, and the people who were Zhang Yang pointed their muskets at the plank, and of course they would fall into the water at the end, but there was an island ahead that could survive for a while, and maybe there were passing ships that saved them.

After the 10 captives jumped off and swam towards the island, Zhang Yang and the others turned around and left, and by this time, Zhang Yang already had two ships, and Cindy sailed side by side with the Pamir and Helen, heading straight for Tolti Island.

Zhang Yang glanced at the progress of the ship collector.

"Ship Collector: The current number of collections is 2, Helen (medium merchant ship), increase the enhanced attribute by 1%."

"The Pamir (a medium-sized merchant ship, later converted into a pirate ship), increases the enhanced stat by 1.5%."

This time, Cindy blew up the Pamir's pirate flag, and on the way they were not attacked again, and four hours later, before it was completely dark, they saw a wide island.

"You arrive at Tolti Island, and you will be rewarded with 0.5% of the scene exploration."

Although there was still some distance away, Zhang Yang used his telescope to see the ships docked in the bay, at least forty, which looked densely docked together, as if they were a pirate fleet.

"Captain, we can dock, that's Tolti Island, we have two boats, we need to pay some rent."

There is a fee to dock in the bay, and 99% of the people on Turtle Island are pirates, so they don't care if you just killed someone or just robbed a ship, as long as you have money, you can do anything here.

Zhang Yang pondered for a moment.

"Thomas, do you have any acquaintances here?"

"Acquaintances?"

Thomas was stunned for a moment, he had been at sea all year round, and he knew friends from all over the world, he thought for a moment.

"I do know an old friend from Turtle Island, he still has some reputation here, do you need help with anything?"

"Help me contact him, and he said I want to sell the ship, two ships."

Thomas just thought about it, then understood Zhang Yang's thoughts, and readily agreed, along with some of the remaining goods on the ship, it would all be processed on Turtle Island.

After arriving at the dock, a black child walked over and looked at Zhang Yangdao.

"£1 for rent, £2 for two ships."

"So expensive?"

Zhang Yang is a little smack-smacking, the cost of stopping a ship in a British port is 1pence, but here it costs 20p, or 1 pound. (Note, according to the data, the effective reference range for this exchange rate is from the late 17th century to the early 18th century, with £1 = 20p.) )

After paying the £2 rent, the black kid handed Zhang Yang two peculiar wooden strips with a strange line of letters carved on them, similar to the meaning of parking spaces in Zone B No. 1 and B-zone 2, and pointed to the exit road in the distance.

"Don't worry, it's safest to park the boat here, you can't open the chain without the rental sign on your hand, and no one will want to drive him away."

Zhang Yang noticed that around the two boats, a space was separated by iron chains, which looked similar to the white lines in the current parking lot, and after Zhang Yang and they dropped anchor, the black child locked the anchor with iron chains.

At the exit of the bay, there were 4 heavily armed 5th class battleships guarding the exit, equipped with 30 guns, and the sailors could only leave if they took out the rental sign (that peculiar wooden bar), otherwise they would be blown to pieces by the four battleships.

Zhang Yang asked his crew to move freely, leaving two people to take turns guarding the cargo, and gather here early tomorrow morning, and then take Cindy and Thomas to find that old friend.

The three of them came to a noisy tavern, the outside of the decoration looked shabby, but it did not affect the people inside to find pleasure and get drunk, countless drunkards and drunkards fell drunk in the pigsty, or fought, the people around them clapped loudly, and the women writhed to the rhythm of the music.

"This is the West Tavern, the number one tavern on Tolti Island, and that old friend is the owner here."

While explaining to Zhang Yang, Thomas pushed away a drunk guy and walked towards the counter, looked left and right to see that there was no one, and patted the counter to the guy.

"Hey, bring me a big glass of rum, I want a special fragrant one, call West over, and say that someone has come to him to ask for a black threaded shell, Cindy, Zhang Yang, whatever you two like, you two order for yourself, it's all on West's body."

"I want a glass of whiskey."

"I want a light rum, a big glass."

Cindy and Zhang Yang each ordered a glass of whiskey and rum, Cindy likes spirits, but Zhang Yang is very curious about rum and has always wanted to taste it, and the guy inside heard the words black threaded shells, so he poured wine for everyone, and then got up and called that West.

Zhang Yang took a sip of rum, and suddenly a faint sweetness filled his mouth, revealing a faint fragrance, and he couldn't help but take another sip.

Rum is a distilled liquor made from sugar cane and molasses, originating in Cuba, with a sweet and fragrant taste, and according to the flavor characteristics, it is divided into two categories: light and strong.

After a busy day, or to relax after a fight, rum is the most suitable, not only cheap but also affordable, a large glass of high-quality light rum costs about 10p, of course, there is also the average sailor to drink 1 pence 1 glass of inferior rum, Zhang Yang is not short of this money now, so he ordered a better one.

"Thomas, what does that black threaded shell mean, code?"

Zhang Yang was a little curious, and Cindy took a big sip of brandy and looked at Thomas together.

"Ah, you say this, it's about the same as a code, I came here two years ago, this old guy and we got drunk together, if I have something to do with him, just go to the West Bar and say the black threaded shells."

As soon as Thomas finished explaining, Zhang Yang noticed a somewhat thin middle-aged man coming over, with the kind of monocles in Europe in his eyes, and let out a hearty laugh when he saw Thomaston.

"Look who this is, my old friend Thomas, who hasn't seen you for two years, and you actually came to extort my rum as soon as we met." (To be continued......)
